Granted: 1910-12-31
Abstract: 3201. Kent, W. G., and Hodgson, J. L. Feb. 9. Liquid-level pressure gauges for use primarily with Venturi and Pitot apparatus to measure the velocity head of a fluid stream are arranged so that a reading of the indicating-liquid can be taken over a considerable length of tube. For this purpose, the tube a is connected to a wider reservoir b with a needle valve o, adjustable to damp oscillations, interposed. A scale is fixed in a plane passing through the axis of the tube, and is divided to give the flow directly, or equally for use with a vernier. A travelling sight consists of a piece of white opal glass carried in a frame sliding on a rod f and held by a friction spring. For great precision, the sight may be replaced by a microscope h, Fig. 6, carried by a vertical screw j which is operated by gearing having a counter k reading to thousandths of an inch. A cock between the tube and reservoir facilitates the checking of zero point.

In the construction shown, the upper end of the tube is closed by a head d, packing e, and a diaphragm f, the diaphragm carrying the spinning-nozzle h; a screwed ring k and packing-ring l make a tight joint between the flange m of the diaphragm f and the wall of the head d. A slightly-modified construction of the arrangement for closing the upper end of the tube is also described. A supply-pipe o for the first liquid and a suction-pipe pare also provided. The filaments are collected into a thread and pass either round the bottom edge of the tube or over a roller z or rod z<1>, and thence over tension rollers s, t, carried on bellcrank arms u, v, which act as a tensioning or drawing-out device; the thread finally passes to a roller w ; or the threads may be drawn out by a revolving drum. The motion of the filaments through the otherwise stationary liquids sets up a downward flow of liquid and consequently a return upward flow, which has the effect of bringing fresh second liquid up to the line q and washing back any descending first liquid. The fineness of the threads produced may be varied by varying the position of the line q. Specifications 8083/02, 16,588/03, [both in Class 120, Spinning], and 16,078/06 are referred to.
